Dye container and hair dyeing device using the same

Abstract

This invention relates to a device for performing dyeing operation such as bleaching, coloring, and coating using an electric power with a dye container attached. Main components of the invention are comprised of a body, a comb assembly, a pump and a piping member. The body composed of handle and head is equipped with a motor, battery and switch. The comb assembly composed of a plurality of teeth having respective conduits is rotatably fixed to the body. The pump is connected to the motor so as to feed the dye from the container attached to the body to the respective comb of the comb assembly with an enforced and uniform flow. The piping member is disposed at a flow path between the pump and the comb assembly so as to maintain a uniform flow of dye through the conduits of the comb assembly.

1. A hair dyeing device for discharging dye by means of electric power to dye hair, comprising:
 a main body having an electric motor, an electric power source, a switch, and a dye inlet port formed so that at least one dye container is attached to the main body through the dye inlet port; 
 a comb assembly attached to the main body, the comb assembly comprising a plurality of tines, each of the tines having at least one flow channel formed therein; 
 at least one pump connected to the dye inlet port and powered by the electric motor, the at least one pump providing an outside negative pressure at the dye inlet port for discharging the dye in the at least one dye container through the dye inlet port by sucking the hair dye out of the at least one dye container through the dye inlet port; and 
 a plurality of flow channels formed so that the dye discharged from the dye inlet port flows to the respective tines along the corresponding flow channels, 
 wherein the comb assembly is pivotably attached to one end of the main body. 
 
     
     
       2. The device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the dye container includes a dye-containing space for preventing contact between hair dye remaining in the dye container and filling air introduced into the dye container by discharging the hair dye, the dye-containing space being defined in a collapsible thin resin film, and at least one mouth disposed outside the dye-containing space, and
 wherein the pump provides the outside negative pressure at the at least one mouth to discharge the hair dye by sucking the hair dye out of the dye-containing space through the at least one mouth. 
 
     
     
       3. The device as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein dye container further includes at least one hole formed at an outside of the dye container and adjacent to the dye-containing space so that an inside negative pressure created by diminution of the hair dye is reduced. 
     
     
       4. The device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein each of the tines of the comb assembly has one to eight flow channels formed therein. 
     
     
       5. The device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one pump is a multi channel pump having a plurality of pumping elements divided by partitions, the pumping elements being coaxially arranged, and wherein the number of the pumping elements corresponds to that of the tines. 
     
     
       6. The device as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising a valve mounted in each of the flow channels formed between the at least one pump and the comb assembly so that the dye is discharged through each of the flow channels while the dye is mixed with another dye or the dye is discharged through each of the flow channels while the dye is not mixed with another dye depending upon selected positions being chosen from among combinations of mixing-isolating-separating positions of the valve. 
     
     
       7. The device as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising an intermediate plate attached to the dye inlet port so that the at least one dye container is easily replaced irrespective of the size of a mouth of the dye container. 
     
     
       8. The device as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of dispensers disposed between the at least one pump and the comb assembly for uniformly distributing the dye supplied by the at least one pump, wherein each of the dispensers has a plurality of rotors arranged on a same shaft.
